Fall festive trend


Noir Bride 
Gone the days of the typical maroon gold palette of festive dressing.Indulge in the Indianized version of vampire chic and opt for deeper and darker tones for your festive gears.Try and experiment with unconventional palette of steel,carbon and raven and inject the quintessential Indian neon of Rani pink and saffron orange.

Skirt Lehenga
Swirl and twirl at your friends wedding in perfect flared skirt-Lehenga which are light in weight and much more dramatic.Bordered with perfection with textured Fabrics and sequin detailing.Team them further with well fitted leotard shirts and through in a signature statement bolero which punctuates the Indo-chic look.stack bangles of Fiber,wood,glass and kick start the dance floor in heeled Kolhapuris in bright palette.

Anarkali 
The billowing Anarkali grows stronger this fall and transcend in the territory of digital and drapes.The classic (kali) panel construction gets innovated  in form of insert godets and drape bodices.Try and team them with crush silk skirts for a Lungi effect over simple churidar.

Drape tunic and dhoti
The universal Kurta, this fall gets a sensual uplift in form of drape tunic with pinching and pleat detailing.The look further is paired with full grown patiala, dhoti pants and harem in luxe lycra which adds to a soft movement to the constructed traditional silhouettes.

 

Tonal bling 
The IN-your face embellishment takes a back step and let the shine does it magic by itself. Tone on Tone shine embroidery are replacing the crystal encrusted bling.The detailing goes more intricate,delicate and tonal which just gives the required shine and sparkles the entire ensemble in a sophisticated sheen.
